55 Things That Make INDIA Proud
2292
We often belittle our achievements.That's a crying shame.A sense of pride has the power to raise people's
lives and hopes from the ordinary to the truly extraordinary.Pride also makes a nation , and in times of
despair and helplessness, can lift the spirit of a billion people.
And there is a lot to be proud of.Amazing strides in infotech.An army that defends the nation against
stupendous odds.A revolution in agriculture.A thriving, free media.Great institutions of learning.Prostheses
like the incredible Jaipur foot that helps a shattered Afghanistan walk.Protest movements of immense courage,
like the Chipko Movement and the one that saved Kerala's Silent Valley. Even the dream factory of Indian
cinema.
These achievements celebrate the spirit that is India and touches our soul with its heady mix of do-good and
feel-good, thingsthat make us swell our chests with pride, maybe squeeze out a tear or two of joy, and fill
us with a sense of appreciation and purpose.In this tumultuous corner of the world where much is wrong and
much needs to be done, every Indian offers this tribute to India.
